 PTT USER INSTRUCTIONS
 
Push To Talk, release to listen. The red button switch is maintenance free.

The toggle switch used in this PTT contains sliding metal parts and as such requires occasional lubrication.

A light machine oil such as "3-in-1" is recommended. Two or three drops introduced where the toggle enters the body of the switch is sufficient.
DO NOT USE WD40 OR ANY SIMILAR SOLVENT
This will effectively flush out any lubricant and will eventually lead to a sticking switch.
There is a small degree of sideways movement in the toggle. This is not a fault.
 SYMPTOMS OF A STUCK SWITCH (continuously transmitting)
Toggle/button remains in the down position. (unplug PTT from intercom and repair or replace).
P2 unable to communicate with P1. (P2 mike is mute during transmissions)
Radio traffic goes quiet. (Other users of the frequency are blocked by your continuous Tx)

Stuck switches are very rare events but not unknown, so it's best to recognize the symptoms!
